Want to kick up your regular potatoes? This super meal is delicious, easy, and nutritious. 😉💚 ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨For this recipe, we bake 8 to 10 peeled potatoes (as many as would fit into our cast-iron skillet). Cut potatoes into quarter size before going in the oven for 40 mins at 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Also before going into oven, we add 3 to 4 tbsp of water. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨Once out of the oven, we combine the following into a mixing bowl: baked potatoes, 2 celery stalks chopped into small bite size pieces (this gives the potato salad a crunch), 1/2 to a whole onion (more crunch 😃), 1/2 cup coconut aminos teriyaki sauce, 3/4 cup organic yellow mustard, 1 tbsp pink himalayan salt, and 1 to 2 tsp of black pepper. Mix all of this great stuff up and viola potato salad! ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨We eat ours warm, but it taste great refrigerated too. Enjoy! 🌱💚 #potatoes#healingfoods#medicalmedium#potatosalad#yummy#plantbased#food#spuds#recipe#vegan#comfortfood#sogood#goplanturself

When meat is grass fed & finished, leave the fat on! - grass fed meats are known to have higher amounts of anti-inflammatory omega 3 fatty acids and less of the omega 6s which contribute to inflammation within the body ✨Fats provide cellular structure and fluidity, are needed to synthesize cholesterol & steroid hormones, support the protective coverings on our neurons known as myelin sheath, as well as increasing nutrient absorption of certain fat soluble vitamins and minerals. ✨What’s more is the iron and zinc from red meat is more bioavailable than its plant sources, and when combined with vitamin C in the form of fresh fruit or vegetables (like tomatoes) the absorption is further increased... for even more iron absorption, coupling animal sources of iron with plant sources (I.e steak & spinach) it helps to improve the absorption of the plant form, known as our non-haem iron... ✨Food is always the best source of nutrition, you can’t expect to eat a processed and highly refined diet with some vitamins supplemented & live a healthy lifestyle ... #foodismedicine

I eat anywhere from 5 to 10 bananas per day 🤤 🤤
🌱
Before eating this beauty on my walk to class, I had to snap a photo to commemorate such an awesome moment. For the first time in about 30 minutes, I was about to indulge in a treat that Nature created while intending to help me feel alive. Little did I know that a large chunk of our salvation has been hidden in plain sight as a cheap convenience food 🍌 🍌

Nothing beats bananas in their digestive healing abilities. They serve as tonics for colitis, crown's, and even stress related gastrointestinal issues 🍌
🍌
People are scared of bananas. "Too much sugar and carbs 😵" but let me tell you, these sugars are much different from cane or processed sugars. Trace minerals bind to these sugars. These sugars are the very reason bananas contain all the phytonutrients, vitamins, and minerals as well! 🍌

The biggest benefit I've noticed with bananas is their mood enhancing abilities. Eat them when fully ripe! (Brown dots) 😁💙

I'm a shy person. I'm quiet, reserved and often awkward.
The social anxiety I feel from speaking with a person one on one can make the hair on the back of my neck stand up. You might know that feeling...your hands get sweaty, your tummy churns, you fumble your words, and just want to RUN AWAY.
Strangely, I have always felt more at home in front of a group. On stage, at the podium or from behind my laptop.
I loved acting! Reading my poetry in front of a full auditorium gave me a feeling of empowerment, excitement and accomplishment. And writing just takes me to another time and place.
But when there is no script, no editing, I have to be ME. And for most of my life, that felt really hard and disappointing.
And that is OK. It is a lifetime journey and I'm working through it. EVERY. DAMN. DAY.
How about you? Are you embracing the journey? Let me know. I'd love to hear what you are working through.
Be strong. Be well. Be you. ❤️
